Now tonight I plan to start testing and run Prime95 with the setting on the FSB up'ed to 465 while dropping the CPU voltage to 1.38 or so. Would this be the ideal way in trying to pump out some more ghz, or am I still running down the wrong road ? This is my first experience with OC'ing and first experience building a comp!

At FSB 465 if I can run for 6-10 hours stable I would like to bump it up some more but currently im trying to take it slow and one step at a time to allow the CPU to get used to running under the new settings.

Any guidance would be very much appriciated and welcome!

Thanks in advance,

Kevin
